The Philippines to Allow Dual Citizenship
February 9, 2004 -- Recently passed legislation in the Philippines, entitled "The Citizenship Retention and Reacquisition Act of 2003", gives native Filipinos who have lost their Philippine citizenship by naturalizing as citizens in a foreign country the opportunity to reclaim their Philippine citizenship. By reacquiring Philippine citizenship, these individuals will gain dual citizenship, as well as be able to vote in Filipino elections and hold office in the Philippines. Unmarried children, under 18 years old, of native Filipinos who re-acquire citizenship shall be deemed citizens of the Philippines as well.
Individuals who are interested in attaining dual citizenship will need to appear at the Philippine Embassy in the country of naturalization with the following documents:
Birth certificate or legal document of citizenship in the Philippines
Valid foreign passport
Documents evidencing a name change by adoption, marriage or divorce (if necessary)
As we are looking at geting the Missus Brit citzenship we want to make sure its the right move for the long term.
For example how does he affect inheritance of land etc?
